Type: Priority Ops
Prerequisites: To play this mission, you must first complete the mission The Journey to Meridian.
Meridian was lost when the Scourge was launched against the Jardaan. As the heart of the vault network, it is the key to restoring worlds all across the cluster. Only when Meridian is found and secured will the future of Heleus be certain.
To find Meridian, its possible trajectory through the Scourge must be mapped. Search the solar systems on the outskirts of Heleus to locate viable locations to gather data on the Scourge.
You need to scan three anomalies in Skeldah, Kindrax, and Civki systems, and then plant probes there.
Use the terminal on the Tempest's bridge.
Go back to Khi Tasira.
Move forward, reach the control center, and activate the remnant console.
Try to reach the door. You will lose control of your main character eventually.
The Archon has stolen the Hyperion and cut all communication between SAM and the Pathfinder. The Pathfinder's implant must be reset with a manual signal. If you don't send the signal, the Pathfinder will die and the Archon will use Meridian to threaten entire planets.
Now you have to play as Sara (your sibling) for some time.
Go to the security and grab a weapon.
Don't fight here, just run.
Reboot the QEC Relay.
The Archon has taken the Hyperion, SAM, and will soon arrive at Meridian. He must be stopped, or all of Heleus will suffer.
You are controlling your main character again. Activate the remnant console.
Move through the door, you will regain communication with the Tempest.
Move forward, reach the gravity well and use it.
Move forward. The rest of your crew and the Tempest is waiting for you behind the next door. You've lost your connection with SAM, but you still can control the Remnant devices.
The Archon is pushing to control Meridian. He's said that if Heleus does not submit, he'll use this power to destroy entire planets, starting with Eos. Fight through the kett guarding the Archon's path and the Remnant defending Meridian. The Archon must be stopped.
It's time for the final confrontation with Archon.
You will go ground.
Just go ahead.
Kill all kett on your way. Depending on which missions you did or what choices you made, the next allies will join the fight.
Move forward, kill the kett.
Run ahead, use the consoles to summon the bridges, kill your opponents until you reach the gravity well.
Kill the kett ascendant and his minions.
Move forward, open the next door. You will witness the hard landing of the ship.
You will reach gravity well area eventually.
Kill some kett soldiers then get ready for a fiend and a destroyer.
Move forward. The Remnant bots won't attack you, they show you the way.
Activate one more gravity well.
In the final room you will meet Archon and your sibling.
The Archon holds the heart of Meridian. The Hyperion is here. Your team, allies, friends, and family are here. There is no turning back. If the Archon uses the stolen SAM connection to take control, he threatens everything in Heleus. Stop him from claiming so much power.
Kill the kett, the ascendant is one of them.
Unfortunately, that does not help much. Archon gains access to Meridian and summons the architect.
